Reflecting on
his return, he revealed to The Times that Frasier's fictional character has
lived a parallel life with him, with a story that is just as believable and
tangible as his own. Grammar confidently affirmed his talent in portraying
the character, emphasising the undeniable comedic chemistry they shared.
